Slow down earlier
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
At the 1,000 ft gate: speed above the reference speed.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,050 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 110 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight began with a taxiing period from the parking to the runway, which took 6 minutes and covered a distance of 1 nautical mile. The aircraft, a CRJ900, then departed from runway 01 at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (KDCA). The takeoff distance was 1,747 meters, which was 80% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 160 knots.
The local weather conditions at the time of departure were a temperature of 2 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 10 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots. The aircraft began its enroute climb 1 mile south of Washington, D.C., and ascended from an altitude of 852 feet above sea level to 34,002 feet above sea level, an increase of 33,150 feet, in 12 minutes and covering a distance of 148 nautical miles.
The enroute level cruise started 10 miles south of Buckhannon, West Virginia, and lasted for 3 minutes, covering a distance of 92 nautical miles. The aircraft then began its enroute descent 7 miles northeast of Lesage, West Virginia, and descended from 33,947 feet above sea level to 4,467 feet above sea level, a decrease of 29,480 feet, in 14 minutes and covering a distance of 136 nautical miles. The enroute level cruise started again overhead Skyline Acres, Ohio, and lasted for 2 minutes, covering a distance of 5 nautical miles.
The final approach to runway 18L at Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport (KCVG) was made from the north, heading 179.0 degrees at an altitude of 1,457 feet above ground level and a distance of 4 nautical miles from the runway. The landing was made on runway 18L, which had a length of 3,050 meters. The threshold height was good, and the threshold speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots.
The touchdown distance was good at 112 meters, and the touchdown speed was 149 knots, which was fast. The touchdown rate was hard at -490 feet per minute. The runway touchdown alignment was very good. The local weather conditions at the time of landing were a temperature of -8 degrees Celsius, with a wind speed of 6 knots at a direction of 199 degrees. This resulted in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 6 knots.
The total landing distance was 1,071 meters, which was 35% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was perfect. The taxiing period from the runway to the parking took 3 minutes and covered a distance of less than 1 nautical mile. The total flight distance was 394 nautical miles, and the flight duration was 42 minutes. The aircraft used 2,145 kilograms of fuel during the flight.
The CRJ900 aircraft successfully landed at KCVG Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport, achieving a score of 96.7%. The final approach was conducted from the north, heading 179.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,457 feet above ground level (agl). The aircraft maintained a good alignment with the runway, and the threshold height was satisfactory.
Upon touchdown, the aircraft's speed was slightly above the target at 151 knots, which may have contributed to a slightly harder touchdown. However, the touchdown distance of 112 meters was within acceptable limits. The touchdown speed of 149 knots was faster than desired, resulting in a hard touchdown rate of -490 feet per minute (fpm). Despite this, the runway touchdown alignment was very good, indicating that the pilot maintained control of the aircraft during the landing.
The local weather conditions at the time of landing were characterized by a temperature of -8°C and a wind speed of 6 knots from 199°. The crosswind component was minimal at 2 knots, while the headwind component was 6 knots, which helped to stabilize the aircraft during the landing. The total landing distance of 1,071 meters was 35% of the runway length, indicating that the aircraft was able to stop within a reasonable distance.
The runway rollout alignment was perfect, demonstrating the pilot's ability to maintain control of the aircraft during the landing and rollout phases. Overall, the landing was successful, and the pilot's skills were evident in their ability to navigate the aircraft safely to the ground.
